Meet Emily, the robotic lifeguard

As we all know, summer is right around the corner. This mean that pools will be opening up, and what do pools need? Lifeguards. However, one beach in Rhode Island is using something a little different. They call it Emily, and it's a red robotic lifeguard. Even though it's a lifeguard, its not humanoid. It's just a red floating robot with a high powered propulsion system. The makers of this robot aim to help conscious people in distress using this RC robot. The reason the person has to be conscious is because they have to grab on to the robot to be rescued. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see it in action!
